Hello Natasha and Everyone!
Thanks for this message. You are not doing anything wrong ;-))

Recently I asked Steve to program some additional ways to copy signs  
into SignPuddle. For example, now we can copy a sign from SignText,  
and we can copy entire SignText documents. Those new features were  
done a week ago...

And now Steve is working on another wonderful feature related to  
copying...

I believe in the process of doing this new programming, the way the  
old Copy Sign feature works has changed a little. I didn't realize  
this myself until yesterday, when it happened to me too...but it still  
works...Let me explain.

TO COPY A SIGN
1. Click on the Copy Sign button
2. The screen asks you what puddle you want to copy to...make a choice
3. Then the screen asks what name you want to give it...give it a  
name...push the Add button
4. To the right of the newly copied sign, push the Write Sign button  
to change the sign...

So you can still do it, just in a new way...I will ask Steve about how  
this happened, but I think it works well anyway, and the one problem  
is updating the manuals, but that i will be doing next week anyway!

Thanks for telling us, Natasha -

Val ;-)
